Friday Musings
I thought I was going to do something amazing. I had so many dreams, ideas, passions . . . then life happened. Some of the dreams were created and some fell by the wayside. Sometimes I look around and I observe an old friend making a dream a reality. I remember the disappointment. What if. I…

However, jealousy, feelings of disappointment, sensitivity, feelings of unworth and not a part of, however, went hand in hand. Whether friend or lover, the push, pull sense of wanting what I could not have and not…

Beating up on Self

Take care of yourself during these times
When I find myself reading the news, listening to the news, going on social media, I find myself irritable, hyper, overwhelmed and sad. When I decide to slow down and get quiet, tears are released and the pain is felt. During these times, I remember that I need to get back to basics, it’s survival…
